The problem

You can't improve what you can't measure.

Most small businesses can't say which marketing brings in customers. So they spend on gut feel, can't justify the budget, and keep paying for things that don't work because nothing tells them otherwise.

📊

You don't know which channels bring in revenue

Likes, reach and visits aren't revenue. Without tracking connected to your CRM, you can't see what's actually working.

⚙️

Your GA4 is set up wrong, or not at all

Default setups miss the actions that matter, like calls, form fills and bookings. We track the things that make you money.

🧪

You're guessing, not testing

Testing headlines, calls to action, landing pages and emails is the quickest way to improve results. We make it a habit.

📉

You're paying for channels you can't prove

Without measurement you can't cut what wastes money or back what works. We give you the evidence for every decision.

The 5 numbers every small business should know

Forget 40-metric reports. If you know these five, you can make almost every marketing decision with confidence.

01

Where each customer came from

Google, social, referral, repeat. If you don't record the source, you can't back the winners.

Source
02

Cost per lead

What you spend on a channel divided by the enquiries it brings. The first number to compare channels on.

Efficiency
03

Lead to customer rate

Out of every 10 enquiries, how many buy? Often the cheapest number to improve.

Conversion
04

Customer value

What a typical customer spends with you over time, not just on the first order.

Value
05

Cost to win a customer

Alex Hormozi's rule of thumb: customer value should be at least 3 times what it costs to win them.

Test & Measure questions, answered

What is GA4 and why does my GA4 setup matter?

GA4 (Google Analytics 4) is Google's analytics platform for tracking website and app activity. Most default GA4 setups miss the specific events and conversions that matter to a business, so the data looks complete but actually tells you very little.

How do I set up GA4 properly?

Create the property correctly, define the custom events and conversion goals that match your business, set up audience segments, and add the custom dimensions that track what actually matters to you. Read the full step-by-step guide →

What should I be tracking if I'm not sure where to start?

Start with the actions that lead directly to revenue: form submissions, calls, bookings, purchases, and key page engagement. Everything else, likes, reach, generic visits, is a vanity metric until it's connected to one of these outcomes.

How do I know which marketing channel is actually driving revenue?

You need attribution tracking that connects your marketing channels to your CRM and sales pipeline, not just GA4 in isolation. Without that connection you can see traffic and clicks, but not which touchpoints actually influenced a sale.
